The lowly quartermaster Henry Every (Avery) takes fortune into his own hands when he leads a mutiny to oust his captain and turn the crew into pirates. Perhaps the most valuable treasure hoard in the world is making its way across the Indian Ocean in a ship called the Ganj-i-Sawai or the Gunsway. Every and his band of pirates decide to attack it. This is the story of the adventure, the horrible villainies, and the mysterious fate of the “King of the Pirates,” Henry Every.

The dialogue, the musical score, the raw historical content, the ominous vibe. This is a beautiful piece of work.
-
The fact that Every was never found is testement to his intelligence. Being able to separate himself from the pirate world into anonymity was an amazing feat.
-
Wealth, fame, power. Henry Avery, King Of The Pirates attained this and everything the world has to offer and his dying words drove countless souls to the seas. "You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered in one place. Now you just have to find it." These words lured men to the Oceans in pursuit of dreams greater than they ever dared to imagine. These is the time known as THE GOLDEN AGE OF PIRACY!

“We do hereby charge all his Majesty’s Admirals, Captains and other officers at sea… to seize and take Henry Every and such as are with him on the ship to be punished as Pirates upon the High Seas.” It is appalling to me that people don’t issue wanted notices like this anymore, if I heard a proclamation about me spoken like that, it’d terrify me.
-
Under the Black Flag is an excellent book about piracy. Before the New World, Madagascar was a pirate port.
-
"After buying slaves, Every went to hunt sea turtles". Like how evil can one dude be??
-
Henry Avery outplayed the two most powerful empires at the time, the British and Mughal. That was quite impressive.
-
still furious these guys aren’t raking in millions of views per episode. hopefully this one hits the algorithm 🤞
-
This is one of the most eye opening documentaries about just how far of a global reach pirates had during their era. Very good job with this one.
-
11:39 "The pirates had not betrayed some heroic code, but rather exposed those very bloated professions of libertine spirit as tawdry platitude..." Dang man that is one profound, articulate and downright SEXY sentence. I listened to it at least half a dozen times. Well done. You've got one heck of a writing team on this channel I'll tell you that.
-
The fact that I've rewatched this like 10 times shows the incredible quality of these two dudes content
-
Wealth, fame, power, Henry D. Every the King of the Pirates attained this and everything else the world had to offer
-
My only regret is that I can only subscribe once. The atmosphere, the music, the narration, all a grand orchestra to make the perfect symphony. History dose, on behalf of everyone here, I can say you are terribly underrated. Please keep up this great work, you deserve more subscribers and even more praise than I can give
-
You’ve done pirates a justice in describing all that encompassed their lives. No matter how grim. Well done lads
-
Imagine if Avery and Tew founded a pirate utopia on a island in the middle of the Indian Ocean... I mean, with all that treasure and wealth...

“Look at me. I am the captain now.” - Henry Every

I remember sailing down the Strait of Malacca and through the Phillipines aboard a merchant vessel last year. The freeboard on our ship was so small that we would occasionally have to lock down the house and radio the bridge when you had to go onto the main deck due to piracy concerns. We even had to do security drills in case that situation ever happened. We never saw any pirates and they're definitely not what they used to be, but it was a somber reminder that when shit hits the fan on a ship you're on your own til help arrives.

I always thought Every was so impressive because he got out. Throughout history, no matter the time, knowing when and where to get out of the game a rich man and get away with it is rare. I think Every knew what would happen if he kept going. Or maybe he faked his name and got pardoned with many other pirates. Maybe he was unknowingly hanged with countless others. But the fact remains that the name of Henry Every was never killed.

Easily one of the finest documentaries on pirates I've ever seen. The artwork is absolutely breathtaking! Kudos!!
